You may need to know information about your video card and monitor. Then get out of X, if you are there, to the console prompt. Start ATI’s config file generator: fglrxconfig At completion of the ATI xorg.conf generation should the resulting file be saved as /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If you do an lsmod | grep fglrx, you should see the driver loaded. If it is, you’re ready to rock. Bring up a console and check out glxgears, then full screen it. Fast eh? Try fgl_glxgears. Try some GL screensavers. Credits to Wayne Johnson ( http://waynejohnson.net ) for writing the original instruction for Fedora Core 3.
